Guest pikey Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 celt, there is another solution its called "advantage 100" its a small tube 1ml, you part the coat between the shoulders blades until the skin is visible, empty contents onto skin last for 4 weeks, not to sure of the price as i get mine off a mate when he goes shop lifting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaun v 3 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 its a well known fact that it effects collie breeds which could lead to death, its the first thing asked by the vets over here if they give ivomec or dextomax. i'll find a link detailing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaun v 3 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 There are three treatments for demodectic mange that work for most dogs. The first is the use of amitraz pour on (Mitaban Rx) every other week for 6 to 8 applications or until 2 consecutive skin scrapings are negative, which probably cures demodectic mange in about % of dogs when application directions are followed, although this is just a guess based on averaging results from available studies. This is the only approved treatment for demodecosis. The second treatment is ivermectin given by injection or orally at the rate of 250ug/kg or higher (up to 600ug/kg in resistant cases) daily until two skin scrapings are negative, which probably also works about % of the time. This treatment has to be used very carefully in collies and shelties, who are more likely to suffer toxic reactions to ivermectin. The third treatment that is sometimes used is oral milbemycin (Interceptor Rx) given daily for six to eight weeks and my best guess is that it is about as effective as the other therapies. It is probably wise to be cautious about using this therapy in collies and shelties, too -- although we have done this on a couple of occasions without problems, so THERE YOU GO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
